Getting ready for the Chinese New Year... Coming up this Tuesday, February 1st, 2022 is the Chinese new year. Depending on who you ask, it has different pronunciations and interpretations. "Happy Chinese New Year" in Mandarin is: xin nian (new year) kuai le (happy) Pronounced shin nee-an kwai le. The Cantonese version is sun nin fai lok- pronounced san knee fy loc Many people associate the Cantonese phrase Gong hei fat choy as happy new year, but it's actually a wish for prosperity to the person you say it to. In Mandarin Chinese, it’s Gong xi fa cai (pronounced gong she fa tsai). Either way, millions of Chinese will be up in the middle of the night cleaning house and preparing for a celebration and to some that lasts for a week! There are Chinese zodiac signs and the Tiger is known as the king of all beasts in China and the zodiac sign for Tiger is a symbol of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness. Many Chinese will be wearing hats or shoes with a tiger image for good luc 2022 is a year of the Water Tiger. It starts from February 1st, 2022, and ends on January 21st, 2023. A Water Tiger year occurs every 60 years. So kung, mung, sung, or however you say it... Happy Chinese New Year! |
